DR. JOHN ARMSTRONG'S LIVER PILLS. " I care not how I am physicked, so it he not by the adventure of a quack, but advice of a physician, who I am sure will prescribe no more for me than nay consist with my safety, and need duth require."— Old Divine. THESE LIVER PILLS have now established themselves as a favourite FAMILY APERIENT, as a safe and sure Destroyer of WORMS in Children, as a most effec tual remedy for an INACTIVE LIVER, and, consequently, as an ANTI-BILIOUS. Obstinate Sores heal, and the STONE and GRAVEL are invariably cured under a course of them. The occasional use of these Pills, instead of any other Aperient, ren ders the Complexion beautifully clear, and free from Eruptions. Many Dropsical persons are now never without these Pills. Taken a few nights before a Voyage, they prevent Sea-sickness. They contain no Alois, Gamboge, or Colocynth ; occasioning no Piles, nor any pain in their operation. By permission of the Board of Stamps and Taxes at Somerset hoaes, the Proprietor has had the Name of his invaluable Medicine, " Dr. JOHN ARMSTRONG'S LIVER PILLS," ENGRAVED IN WHITE LiTTsita on the Government Stamp, to which he continues to Mix, in red wax, his Coat of Arms, a Tower on a Shield of ermine and gold. The LIVER PILLS are now prepared only by the Proprietor's new Compounding Agents, Edw. Winstanley and Son, 7, Poultry, London, in the stead of John T. Eddy, of Bishop Stortford, who .eased to be the Proprietor's Agent on the 9th February, 1838, but continues, he, his heirs, administrators, and assigns, by virtue of an agreement duly stamped and executed, bearing date October 7, 1837, liable to a penalty of 5001. if he or they ever divulge the secret of the Prescription, or again prepare the Pills, or sell any other Pills of his or their preparing, under the name of Dr. John Armstrong's Liver Pills. The Trade is informed that the Proprietor, a Gentleman of pri vate fortune, has directed his new Agents to put 13 Boxes into every Dozen-packet, and that the Is. lid. size only will now be prepared. Messrs. Winstanley are to supply only the London Wholesale Houses; to whom, therefore, Retailers are requested to address their orders. Sold retail by Winstanley, 7.

AS manhood approaches, the human form, counte nance, voice, and the whole intellectual character, rapidly undergo a revolution. Love is the end and sum of life, creating image after image of ideal perfection. But in the present state of society, pure and virtuous enjoyment is often postponed and obstructed, till the ex cess of youthful impetuosity impels to a course of wild and injut if/114 indul gence, and the mind becomes painfully harassed by alternations of fear, disgust, and passion. In this state relief is perhaps sought from the inex perienced, perhaps from the ignorant • in either case at the expense of health, that being only palliated which s hould have been effectually cured. Here we propose to step in and rescue the victim of unwise indulgence from the pangs of remorse, disappointed hope, and disease; and we pledge ourselves to eradicate every taint of syphilitic poison, and to restore to its wonted energy every relaxation of the generative economy, whether from this or other causes, whereby the dignity of manhood shall have become impaired ; equally contemning unfeeling empyricism, which with reckless ignorance destroys where it should restore • and, on the other hand, that unworthy . 1 principle" whose proud selfishness increases the embarrass ment of the afflicted. All cla ' ses of society, not excepting the Anglo- Indian, but more especially such as are about to enter into matrimonial llfe, are Included in the limits of this address, and to all we conidently offer the Jesuit of many years' successful practice. Daily attendance is given for personal consultation ; and immediate an swers are returned to country letters, which must minutely describe the case, and contain a remittance for Advice and Medicine, which can be forwarded to any part o fthe world, however distant —No diffleu N.r. occur, as the Medicine will be securely pocked, and carefully protested from observation.

Th? difficulties he had to contead with, and the ultimate triUmpri, ate thro graphically described by himself in a letter to a friend, published In e york, entitled " American Scenery," by Mr. Willi s :—" As I had oasion to pass daily to and from the building-yard while my boat wag in progress, I have often loitered, unknown, near the idle groups of strangers gathering in little circle 4, and heard vari ous inquiries as to the object of this new vehicle. The lan guage was uniformly that of scorn, sneer, or ridicule. The loud laugh rose at my expense, the dry jest, the wise calcula tion of losses and expenditure, the dull but endless repetition of The Fulton Folly.' Never did a single encouraging re mark. a bright hope, or a warm wish, cross my path.' " The day arrived when the experiment was to be made. To me it was a most trying and interesting occasion. I wanted some friends to go on board to witness the first sue cesNul trip. Many of them did me the favour to attend, as a matter of personal respect ; but it was manifest they did it with reluctance, fearing to be partners of my mortification, and not of my triumph. I was well aware that; in my case, there were many reasons to doubt of my own success. The machinery was new and ill made, and many parts were cola structed by mechanics, unacquainted with such work ; and un expected difficulties might reasonably be presumed to prevent themselves from other causes. The moment arrived in which the word was to be given for the vessel to move. My friends were in groups on the deck. There was anxiety mixed with fear among them. They were silent, sad, and weary. I read in their looks nothing but disaster, and almost repented of my efforts. The signal was given, and the boat moved on a short distance, and then stopped, and became immoveable. To the silence of the pre ceding moment, now succeeded murmurs of discontent and agitation, and whispers and shrugs. I could hear distinctly repeated, ' I told you so—it is a foolish scheme —I wish we were well out of it.' I elevated myself on a platform, and stated that I knew not what was the matter ; but if they would be quiet, and indulge me for half an hour, I would eith er go on or a bandon the voyage. I went below, and disc overed that a s li g h t ma l a dj us tment was the cause. It was obvi a t e d.

A writer in the London Medical Gazette concludes a paper on the fallacy of Dr. Elliotson's experiments, &c., with the following remarks:7. Lastly, comes " the marvellous phenomenon of transposition of sensation." " I have seen her (E. Okey)," writes Mr. Mayo, " on three occasions assume a new condition, and be without eye-sight, hearing, or taste, while she has distinctly perceived some ob jects placed a few inches from her, through a sense more akin to vision than to any other that has been developed, in her hand." I have only once seen E. Okey in this state, and then Mr. Chapman, one of my fellow-students, and myself, made the following experiments : —We took a piece of bread, and held it near the back of the left (the seeing) hand; in a very few seconds the hand began to move in a somewhat rotatory manner, at first slowly, then more rapidly; suddenly she clutched the bread, carried it to her mouth, and began to eat with great eagerness. When she had swallowed the morsel, she placed the back of her hand near the open mouth, as if to ascertain whether all the food was gone. Now if there were neither the senses of touch or taste remaining, and the muscular sense of resistance regulated the movements of mastication and deglutition, surely it ought also to have enabled her to . know whether any of the bread still was or was not retained in her mouth. In the next place, we held a folded cloth before her eyes, and them took another piece of bread arid placed it near the right, the non-seeing, hand (we were not at that time aware that the left hand only saw), having previously touched the left hand with it, in order to make her believe it to be held near that. After a very short time the hand began to move. We whispered to each other, " She begins to see it." Presen tl y she made a clutch, and, of course, found nothing It was then pretended that at the moment it I was seen she was en the point of seizing the bread ; it was ire moved, and one of us remarked t was . a pity thus to tantalize her, as she was evidently ver y hungry. The experiment was repeated, in the same manner, three times more, and with the same results. So much for that state in which " all the common avenues of sensation are occluded—when eye-sight, taste, touch, hear ing, are suspended ; and when a sort of vision is sensibly ex ercised by some part of the common surface of the body!" THE LATE FATAL DUEL ON WIMBLEDON COMMON. CORONER'S INQUEST ON THE UNFORTUNATE MR. MIRFIN (Continued from our First Edition of Saturday.) Thomas Hunt Dunn, in continuation from our First Edition.— They then fired, and there being no result, the seconds went up and gave them each another pistol. The parties kept their places, and there appeared to be no conference between any of the parties. After the secon d shot, t h e gentleman who shot the other, came u p t o hi m, and said, whether intended for him or not he could not say, but w as, .` I have done for the t h e ex pression Witness said he was sorry for it, and asked if he was hurt, the answer was ic o .o Witness looked then, and saw the other gentleman falling, an d ti l e gentleman who spoke to him went on towards the carriages, and witness went to the other and saw the wound. The man was dead. Hi s attention was directed to the wounded man, and he did not see what became of the others. The gentleman he found with the body appeared to be countenancing the transaction, and waiting the result. He asked witness to take the pistols to the pa rt y as they were no use there. Witness took them tip to his own house, but the carriages had then been driven away, and he still retained the pistols, which he produced. They were very long rifle pistols, with hair triggers and percussion cape. Witness knew none of fhe parties ; but he did not think he could identify any of them. From all h e s aw, there war nothing unfair in the transaction. He also identified the body. The pistols were stated to be of that kind used for practising in rifle galleries, and of a murderous nature. Mr. Dunn claimed the custody of the pistols, as he had been informed t h e y belonged to him. He. did not claim them for the v a l ue o f them, but if they werehis he did riot wish the police to g e t them. After a lengthened discussion the Coroner took possession of them on the part of the Crown, and gave them into the custody of Inspector Field. Mr. Dunn said the gentleman who spoke to him was dark coin. o ca i en ed, about 5 feet 11 inches, stout in proportion, and about 25 years of age. As well as he could recollect he wore a pilot or petersham coat, and had a black stock or handkerchief, with a gold pin and chain. The cabman stated that he was called from the stand at the Elephant and Castle on Wednesday, about five o'clock, and took in the surgeon, Mr. Scott, who was then standing speaking to a gentleman in a gig. The gig went on, and he was told to follow it towards Putney Bridge. On arriving at Wimbledon-common he saw the post-chaise standing, a nd he was ordered to drive up to it. They did so, and he then asked Mr. Scott what it was all about ; and he said they were going to fight a duel, and that no one but a Magistrate or a policeman could stop it. He heard the shots fired, and saw the man dead. He was brought up, put into the cab, and he drove it home. One of the gentlemen who was in the gig came r unn i ng up, an d sa i d he was dead; he jumped into the gig and drove off, although witness tried to stop him.—Adjourned anti Wednesday. e .tear from Newcastle that by the death of Baron Hume a very valuable collection of MSS. has, within these few days, come into the hands of Sir James Robison, as Secretary to the R o y a l S oc i ety o f Edi n b urg h. Th e y c onsist principally of letters addressed to David Hume, from Rousseau, Condamine, and other distinguished foreigners, with a few letters written by Hume, and returned under various circumstances, to gether with several manuscript essays and works. —Athenceunt. Baron Hume, for what reasons is not known, refused all applica tions from persons wishing to inspect the manuscripts left by his uncle for the p urpose o f wr i t i ng h i s lif e , an d the papers in question have been consigned to the Royal Society , p robabl y in accordan ce w i t h the wishes of the historian in case of the family becoming extinct. The late Baron of the Exche q uer, we believe, was th e l as i male branch of the family by the I •gitimte line, and was a great favourite with his uncle, whom he survived sixty_t ao years. It is to him the histori a n alludes ' in his last lett er to Adam -. Smith three days before his death. We learn f rom the same authority that his Royal Highness the Duke of Sus sex has signified his i n tention of resigning the President' s c h a i r of the Royal Society at the close of the year. VICISSITUDES OF FORTUNE. In one of the City parishes, nea r t h e R o y a l E xc h an ge, a pauper now receives parish reli e f who formerly sat in the sam e vestr y to relieve others. Th e man who had formerly been his p orter latel y has been overs eer of this said parish, and had t o relieve his aged master. At the Uxbridge Petty Sessions on Wednesday, it was decided that the owner of a house which was unoccupied, ex cept for the weekly meetings of a body of Irvingites," must pay the am ount of poor-rates for which the house was as. sensed, as it had not been regularly licensed for divine ser vice' The question was brought forward merely to settle the legal point, th e amount of rate claimed being only 6s. NEN:7.',”,E-ON-TYNE, AUG. very nwn;?. ing of the Geneettl Committee was held yeiterflay, the ;.rows m eet- County Court at the Moot Hall, for the purpose of deciding upon the place where the meeting should be held next year. The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND was in the chair. After the minutes of the last meeting were read, Dr. GRANVILLE gave notice of a motion for the formation of an agricultural section, and also as to the best mode of acquainting the members with any contemplated alteration in the byAlaws. Mr. Mctlcniaos, the General Secretary, read a list of the various places from which deputations were in town to invite the Aegnelation for its next meeting. The first of these was from Birminglianl, and was suppoi ted by the High Bailiff. rrorn Manchester inrtations had been received from all the public Old seientific bodies ; :e also from the Lord Provost and public institnfiehe and colleges Glasgow. Invitations were also presented front York, Sheffielt:, and Hull, which were severally supported by deputations. Mr. BAGGAGE expressed his gratification at the numerous vitations that had been offered, but, under all the circumstances, gave the selection to the town of Birmingham, particularly as they had large and commodious buildings, and which were very contiguous, for the meeting of the sections. It was necessary, however, to repress the hospitality of the towns towards the Association, which was enabled to dispense annually the sum of 3,0001 in the advancement of scientific objects, whilst this bore but a small proportion to the sums spent in entertainments and other purposes. He concluded by proposing that the next meeting. be held in Birmingham. The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON seconded the resolution , and urged that the principal meetings had been held hitherto at seapoft towns, and that an advantage would be gained by pay ing a visit to an taland town. The deputation from Glasgow having waived their claim for the present year. The resolution was put from the chair, and carried unani mously. Mr. Muncursox proposed, end Professor Scnowiex se- conded, a resolution for altering the times of meeting either to June or October, on the ground of convenience to rriemis engaged on geological excursions. The motion was lost by a large majority, and it was decided that it should be held in the month of August, the week being left to the local Council to appoint. Mr. BAGGAGE, in rising to propose the appointment of a President, felt that the subject was one of considerable import ance, particularly at this time, as it must have an effect upon all the future proceedings of the Association. He contended that in this country science was not in her natural and fitting po sition, but stood in the most degraded rank, the lowest honour being given to intellectual powers. In every other place but London science was at home. It was desirable to unite all classes in this country in One Interest, and that united bond should be that of intellect. Unhappily the majority of the aristocracy of this country looked with contenipt upon science. He had heard the assertion made by men in authority that they knew little of science, and cared for it less ; and others s:lt higher in authority had called it vain and humbug. They stood there as the senate of British science, and, being a fair average of the science and knowledge of the country, should assert tl , eir true dignity, and with that the principles of the Association. Out of that portion of the aristocracy to which be had referred they should never choose their chief ; but there was happily an exception in another class, those who valued knowledge for its sake, who took a personal interest in its cultivation, and those who patronised exertions by others. Those who cultivated science in the meeting knew well the difficulties under which they laboured in its cultivation, but these were nothing to:those which they had to encounter who had thrown in their way all the allurements consequent upon their posses sions, rank, or exalted station. These were deserving of higher respect, from their having overcome such paramount obstacles; they should make the situation of the chair in which their present Noble President sat the highest scientific honour of the country. After some further obser vations upon the propriety o f the choice of Vice Presidents, osi a n r g cou fo rt r , P w r h e o sid h e a n d t ta a k t en ß s ir u m th ing a ham, dis tinguished interest in the Association from the period of its formation. Sir JOHN HERCHELL seconded the nomination, which was unanimously carried. Professor SEDOWICK suggesting that in the appointment of future officers the opinion of the town at which the meeting was to be held should always be consulted. Professor WHEWELL took an opportunity of protesting against the expression that men of science were in this country a degraded race. He did not consider himself inferior in a social or any other point of view to any foreign cultivator of science. The following were the other officers appointed by the meeting:—Vice-Presidents, the Marquis of Northampton, the Earl of Dartmouth, Rev. Professor Robison of Armagh, and J. Corrie, Esq., of Birmingham. The Rev. Pro fessor Peacock, and Mr. Murchison were appointed General Secretaries. The business of the various Sections commenced as usual in the morning at eleven o'clock. Section A. Mathematics and Physics.—A paper was read from Professor Formes on subterranean temperature, giving an account of experiments made with thermometers sunk in the earth in the neighbourhood of Edinburgh, for the purpose of ascertaining the variation of the temperature in different seasons, and the limits of the influence of the sun downwards. He also noticed a remarkable brine spring in Bavaria risin.:; in a bore of 352 Bavarian feet deep with a per fectly steady temperature of 65 degrees. It discharged car bonic acid gas in great abundance ; but the most remarkable circumstance connected with it was, that five or six times a day the discharge suddenly stopped, and in a few seconds the previously agitated surface became calm, in which state it re mained about 15 or twenty minutes, when the shaft was sud denly refilled with the water rapidly and the gas generally. Sir JOHN ROBINSON made a communication, proposing as a substitute for carrying barometers to the tops of mountains in extensive surveys to employ the peasants to bring down a por tion of the air in glass tubes of easy portability, which could be measured by the barometer at the bottom of the mountain. Sir J. HERSCItELL read so ne observations on the return of Halley's comet from its perihelion, which he observed on the 25th January, 1834, when it was well defined, having for its centre a small bright disc, and surrounded by nebulae; and so uniform was its progression that he calculated back, and found that on the 21st some remarkable change is the position of the comet must have commenced, and that it must have been a mere point. He afterwards learnt that M. Others had his te lescope directed to the comet that day, and that it was but as a star of the sixth magnitude, thus confirming the result of his calculations. Sir DAVID BREWSTER vatic same observations on a new phenomenon of colour in certain varieties of fluor spar from Alston-moor. The colour alluded to was blue, and not a mere surface tint, but appeared to be from some vegetable or other dissemination in the spar, or proceeding from internal cavities. The Rev. J. WATSON read a paper on the Helm Wind of Cross Fell, so called from the collecting of a cloud upon the summit which in some respects resembles a helmet. At some distance to the west of this a collection of similar clouds takes place called the Bar; and between the two so long as the ap pearance lasts a violent wind rushes, though on the other side of the Bar all is calm. Similar phenomena are common on the Table Mountain in the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. SMITH read a paper on the quantities of rain that fell. in different localities, bringing forward many proofs that they were owing to the local circumstances. In London as little rain fell as at any part of the kingdom, Edinburgh excepted, and at Keswick the greatest quantity. Professor WHEATSTONE exhibited an instrument called the stereoscope, for exhibiting some phenomena of binocular vision. Mr. CHARLES GREY read a paper on some theories of the ancients, and strongly recommended the adoption of conic sections as a distinct geometrical pursuit. Section B. Chemistry.—Professor THOMI-SON read a paper on foreign substances contained in iron. It appeared that the strength of Swedish compared to British iron is as 4 to 3, and that British iron cannot be made into steel as good as the Swedish. Of the iron produced in this country the Welsh is capable of making the best steel, which appears to be attri butable to its containing a portion of phosphorus. Professor JOIINSTON read a paper on some exceptions to the law of isomorphism, illustrated by diagrams, and tending to show that substances crystallizing in the same form were not always composed of the same formula. Mr. M &Leer read a report of his investigations undertaken kith the aid of the Association, but nut yet completed, on the action of a long-continued heat of 212 degrees on organic and inorganic bodies. Mr. MAUGHAM, Lecturer on Chemistry to the Adelaide Galicry of Science in London, read a paper on a new mode of obtaining increased atmospheric pressure, and exhibited an ap paratus illustrative of the subject. His method consists in the decomposition of water in a bent glass tube, through the medium of voltaic electricity, the tube being hermetically sealed, and the liberated gases, oxygen, and hydrogen, col lected separately at each end. By this method any amount of pressure may be obtained, which is not only applicable to the liquefaction of gases, but to other purposes requiring increased atmospheric pressure, with a slight modification of the appa ratus. Mr. E. R. RIDLEY made a communication on the condensa tion of muriatic acid gas, by uniting it with steam. Mr. Dewus on an improvement in the manufacture of iron, by using as a fuel the gas obtained from the decomposition of u atcr. Professor MILLER, described an improvement in a reflective gnoniometer, by which it is rendered more portable. Section C. Geography and Geology.--Professor Daubeny, who has just returned from North America, gave a sketch of the geology of that country, particularly of the Allegheny mountains, and also an account of the thermal springs, which were analogous to those of Europe. A paper was read by Mr. OWEN on the structure of fossil teeth. lie had examined 60 classes of mammalia, reptiles, and fishes, and found, on com p ar i ng th e i r s t ru ct u re with those lan, and with each other, that they u-K dk" differed, so alAtit. .1 was possible to decide not only the family, ba: also the geatitc/4 from the fragment of a tooth.

Dr. DtIeKLAND made some re'narks on the footsteps of the , cheirotherium, 'which so much resei:ibled the human hand, and which he bad figtited in his Bridg,lvvater Treatises. The figures were taken from fogsils found in ,Saxony, but they had recently been found in the sandstone of the same age near Liverpool; and there are ripple marks on this sand which ap pear to have been the pattering of rain upon the s?ft sand. The Rev. G. YOUNG, of Whitby, read a paper,i,n which her endeavoured to prove that geologists were in the wrong in at. tributing the formation of organic remains to a high ai.stiquitY of strata. BUCKLAND read a notice of a new plan of cementing together sm. 1 fragment s o f coa l an d coa l dust, so as to rOn. , :` der it available to economical p ur p oses; a'r,d Mr. MILNE read a ',Cl:oer on the carbonii:sroua formation of" Berwick-upon-Tweed and orth Durham. li e explained the great variety of coal scams to :st occur there, .and th e faller and dykes by which they are intera:cted; and boil* himself ', and Mr. Buddle agreed that there was in reserve ,`bete a large coal field, when greater difficulty arose in procurinZt the Newcastle coal. The section adjourned to Saturday morning at ten o'clock..' in order to afford time for geological investigation in the' vicinity, for which several parties were formed. Section G. Mechanics.—Professor PHILLIPS described an instrument called an odontograph, which is intended ,for set tine out the forms of teeth, so that any two wheels of o set may work together. Dr. LARDNEE spoke at considerable length on the subject of ate ,;:n navigation. He acknowledged that he had been in error in exressing his opinions with respect to the practi cability of navigat.ing the Atlantic by steam-vessels , but ex pressed his opinion that they could not be p rofitabl y carried on. He also described the Principles of the self-recording steam journal, made at the • re'itliat of a committee of the Association. Mr. RUSSELL also made some remar:t's on the present state of steam navigation, and the means at ,"tir disposal of com bining the mechanical facilities which we ~`De ady possess in improving the construction of steam-vessels. Re observed, . during the course of his remarks, that vessels at present are much too short in proportion to their breadth, and `hrt it was desirable that they should be constructed of twice th.`ir pre sent length. Mr. LANG also made some remarks on the forms of ves.. t &l their strength and safety. Section Y. Statistics.—Mr. HEYWOOD read a letter from' the Rev. Dr. Potter, of the United States, transmitting to the Secretaries the last Annual Report of the Regents of the ::Lniversity of New York, in relation to New York. M r . .RawsoN read an abstract of the second Report of the R a il way c o omissioners for Ireland ; and Mr. Richard Grif fiths, one of the Commissioners, exhibited several maps in illustration of the Report. Mr. W. L. Wnaerow cead a statistical table of nine prin cipal collieries in the county of Durham, giving details of the strata, principal pumping and winding engines, ventilation, screens, amount of sales, &c.; and the earnings, habitation, and education of the pitmen. Mr. THOMAS WILSON brought forward an account of the Accident Club at Darton Colleries, near Barnsley, York shire ; and Mr. FELTON, of Nottingham, read a paper on the state of education in the township of Hyde. Section E. Medical Science.—Professor OWEN read an in teresting and elaborate paper on the construction of the teeth. Dr. REID read a communication on the amount of air ne cessary !or respiration. Dr. INGLIs 'xhibited the skull of Eugene Aram, and from the tenor of his oiiservations appeared desirous to prove by phrenological observatic;ns and inductions that that individual had suffered unjustly. It was, however-, observed by Dr. KNOTT that the skull could scarcely be identified, and that it appeared to be that of a person not above 30 years of age, whereas Eugene Aram was 54 at the time he suffered. An individual employed at a neighbouring glass wcri k was exhibited to show a cure effected on his arm, which bad been lacerated by falling when carrying a plate of glass along With three others. The injury was of a nature in which amputatissn is generally employed, but it had in this case been cured by simple method of application.' Section D. Zoology and Botany.—On the toes of the Afri can Ostrich, by Mr. THOMAS ALLIS. A histoty of the sternoptyx family of fishes, by P. 0. HAN' DESIDE, M. D., F. R. S. E. Mr. TREVELY AN exhibited a small collection of insects from Naples ; a specimen of the rare polyodum folium ; a specimen of urtica from Elba ; and specimens of the living coluber natrix, as well as preserved in spirits of wine. Dr. CHARLTON read a paper on a hybrid between tetra° urogallus and T. Tetrix, with several specimens. A general meeting of the members was held in the evening at the Central Exchange, the Duke of Northumberland, Pre sident, in the Chair. The business of the evening consisted in the President's reading an abstract of the various papers that had been sub mitted to their different sections in the course of the week. Sir JOHN HEIISCIIELL remarked on the several papers on meteorological subjects which had been rendered to this sec tion, and front which he could almost venture to predict that the science was escaping from infancy, and was now taking its place amongst the more august physical sciences; He bad little doubt but that it would soon take a station by astronomy and the other sister sciences. With respect to his vein ob servations at the Cape of Good Hope, he stated that lee bad discovered 1,094 double stars, and 1,232 nebula, which were principally in the two magellanic clouds. The various other Presidents made appropriate preliminary observations. Prior to the commencement of the business of the meeting, Professor Peacock introduced a Sicilian youth, named Zangio melli, who answered mentally several arithmetical questions that were proposed to him, and wills great accuracy; The Duchess of Nothumberland, the Duchess of Roxburghe, individuals co nst an t a.—A the Mar qu i s o f N ort h ampton, Lord an d L a d y • R avens worth, the Bishops o f C ar li s l e an d D urham, an d severa l o ther dis tinguishedweret the present. Railway meeting of the Mechanical Section on W cdtsday, a Report of the Committee was read upon railway constants. At the last meeting of the Associasion at Liverpool, certain discussions had arisen on the subject of railways, which gave rise to some inquiries, followed by a pro position for instituting an investigation which should put at rest many points on which a difference of opinion is known to have existed amongst practical men. In the progress of traffic by railways there are certain numbers which form fundamental elements of practical calculation, such as the power, the speed, the road, and other circumstances connected with this mode of travelling. If a load of 100 tons required an attractive force of 600 lbs., which is a ratio of Sibs., then this ton was de nominated the railway constant. The subjects to which the inquiries of the Committee were directed, were as follow :—f. As to the proportion of resistance experienced by a load under circumstances hefore stated, how much was owing to friction; and in friction was included nut only the friction caused by the heaving of the carriages or, the axles, but the friction of the tires of the wheels in passing over the rails. 2. As to what force was necessary to make the wheel revolve in contact with the rail, and the carriage the while to remain at rest. 3. The effects of atmospheric resistance. 4. The effects of curves in in. creasing resistance, and how much this depends upon the form of the wheel. 5. The manner in which these several numbers or constants may be modified by varying the conditions under which tie carriages may be constructed. In the course of their investigations the Committee have met with a difficulty, in lintine, as to the resistance arising from, and also in separating the resistance of friction from that of the atmosphere. There was another circumstance connected with the investigation of the resistance experienced by waggons moving along a plane. It o:curred to the Committee to find some inclined plane upon a railway of such length that, if the train were allowed to descend by its own gravity, it would at length acquire such a speed that the sum of the atmospheric resistance and resistance of friction would be equal to its gravity, and so that when it got to a certain velocity it would go forward and not increase. They s_eceeded in finding such an inclined plane on the Grand Junction Railway between Birmingham and Liverpool, which was 1 180. The train moved on till it reached a velocity of t n h u c t r e i s o r c h d ey for h w a a d r d s s el2 a e t ted th a e no r t a h t e e r p o l f a n e e 20 mile= a s hour, when it ce ase d t o b e acce l era t e d, an d it m n i b le ich in w t a h s 1.264, reellli and the train reached a uniform velocity of five miles an hour, and retained it. Mr. Woods, engineer, of Manchester, had made some analogous experiments with ordinary coal waggons which, it was well known, offered a very considerable surface to atmospheric resistance. They found that, or a plone of 1.330, this train would not move; and that if put in motion it would soon come to rest. On- a declination of 1.360 it had an acce lerated motion down the plain till it attained a volocity of nine miles an hour. On a plane of 1.252 the uniform velocity was at 12 miles an hour, and on a plane of 1.178 it was 17 miles an hour. He then took away the boardi it the ends and sides, and found the resistance less. On an inclined plane of 16 feet in a mile the gravity was equal, and this was therefore the angle for repose. Another question in railway travelling was the best magnitude of the driving wheels, every increase in the diameter of which caused the engine to move at a quicker rate. Five feet was the usual diameter of the wheels on the Liver pool and Manchester railway ; they had since been increased to five feet and a half, for the purpose of experiment; bnt an engine had been constructed in this town, the wheels of which were 10 feet in diameter. The Hon. Anne Ponlett was for many years Member for the borough of Bridgewater. The reason of this name was that Queen Anne was his Royal sponsor at the baptismal font —Dorset chronicle.
